“The earth is that from which we
were born, that gave us life, and in which we will rest eternally.
That is why we are all the colours that we are, all of the languages
that our hearts speak; that is why we are peoples, tribes, and
nations. We are the guardians of these lands, of this country Mexico,
of this continent and of the world.”
(EZLN, August 2014)

Compañeras, compañeros, compañeroas,
The struggles against social and
territorial control, and for the maintenance of what sustains us as
living beings, take their right course when people show solidarity
and unity, as demonstrated by the caravan for Maya
Q'eqchi' people in Guatemala,
and by the coordination between their villages when the oppressive
government feeds impunity sending death for their own profit. Or as
in the Zapatista Reality
when what enables autonomy, a good life, a school, a clinic, was
destroyed, the people came together and continued building.
If one falls, more will rise, if what
has been built is destroyed, it will be built again.
These
are the most beautiful lessons of humanity and brotherhood among
peoples facing such darkness. A darkness which monopolizes
everything, as PUDEE
denounces, one which marginalizes women, the backbone of humanity,
and entire ethnic groups, in order to have everything in a few hands.
It generates death, promoting a world of nightmares, as it is for the
thousands of displaced families across the country, as it is in the
barbarity endured by the autonomous
communities of Egipto and El Rosario,
as it is in the pain of the
families of Banavil, as it
is in the disproportionate numbers of migrants, as it has been on
numerous occasions and as it still is.
To avoid falling into the hands of
these dehumanized governments, the
communities of
Nuevo Tila, of the Lacandon
Gap, the families of Bachajon, the Civil Society Las Abejas, members
of the Pueblo Creyente, all
the peoples represented by the
National Indigenous Congress (CNI),
continue to defend their territories and natural resources, sometimes
at the cost of death, imprisonment and suffering.
Working the Earth, and
dying for her. Spreading the true word, from a good education system
to celebrations and sharing. Seeking control of our own life through
health to keep fighting.
For this reason a
school, for this reason a clinic, because these are essential steps
for a true autonomy, for a real strengthening of these struggles and
for their further developments over time.
